Staying true to her word, Kohn proceeded to send a message to the woman she believed to be the guy's mother. She included a screenshot of the user's dick pic, along with a message asking her to speak to her son about this behaviour.

Before I go any further, please let me apologise right now to any woman who has ever received an unsolicited dick pic.

Unsolicited dick pics are inappropriate and shouldn't be sent under any circumstance, but I think I know why they are.

One day I was drinking at a bar with a group of friends, when one of the girls returned from the bar with a disgusted look on her face. "Some guy just came up to me and said I would love to take you home and go down on you for hours," she said.

I tracked this charming gentleman down and asked him why he said that.

"Because it’s fucking hot," came his reply.

"No it's not," I explained.

"Are you going to tell me that if a girl came up to you and said I want to take you home and go down on you for hours, you wouldn't be turned on?" came his retort.

And there you have it. Men think what turns them on, also turns you on.

Many men would love to receive an unsolicited vagina pic or a nude selfie from a female, so we think that's what you'd like to see. Even while I’m writing the above sentence, I can see how absurd it sounds. Same goes for topless shots - how many men send or use topless shots in dating profiles? Subconsciously (or not so subconsciously) it’s what we want to see. I hate to admit it, but we men are a simplistic lot, and we are turned on by visual stimuli.

A survey by Match.com found that 53% of women have received a dick pic and that 47% of men have admitted to sending one. I’m yet to meet a man or a woman who reveals that sending or receiving an unsolicited dick pic has led to sex.

The sad thing is, most females I've spoken to claim that men look better in a suit (or a uniform) than they do naked.

Now I want to reiterate in case I haven't made myself clear, I'm not condoning dick pics or men's attitudes to sending them. I'm just trying to explain why… and to apologise again on behalf of my sex for any offence caused.

Another friend of mine has kept every dick pic she has ever received (unsolicited or not).

There are about 50 of them and she brings them out at parties, events and even work. Just so her girlfriends and anyone else within earshot can have a giggle.

The advice I give to my female friends, when asked what they should do when they receive an unsolicited dick pic, is... send one back and then block his account.

Go to google images and find a picture of the biggest penis you can find (the bigger the better - it will make him feel insecure) and send it back to him. A female friend of mine did exactly that to a guy trying to woo her via a dating app.
